♡ Your activism and support of people with mental health issues should extend into every week of the year not just the one week that's allocated to mental health awareness.
♡ Yes, it's great that a lot of amazing work is done during MH awareness week but are the people that are posting Facebook statuses saying 'post this message on your timeline if you're always here if someone needs to talk' the same people that actually follow through on that promise? Are they the same people that correct others in their everyday lives when they use mental health conditions as adjectives or call people with mental health issues 'crazy?'
♡ There is still so much work to do in regards to the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and so many people are still being discriminated against and suffering unnecessarily. So please join me in working to raise awareness of mental health conditions every day of the year, it's hard work but it's worth it, I promise.
Love,Tess

♡"Everything will be okay in the end, of it's not okay it's not the end." Huge love,Tessa
♡Recovery win guys!
♡Yesterday I went to Tesco and I bought all three flavors of the new vegan Ben and Jerry's and let me tell you, it is FAB.
♡ I tried a spoonful of each last night (the one in the pic is my favorite 😍)
♡ Being vegan is not an excuse to restrict from yummy foods, just because they're a little harder to find. ♡And that leads on to my main point today... 'there are no bad foods.'
This is especially true in recovery when all foods are good foods, foods that will help to restore your health and happiness)
♡ People always label foods and put them into categories but the truth is your body needs all of the categories in order to function properly. ♡ And so please, don't ever feel guilty for eating 'junk food', everything is healthy in moderation.
♡ By eating you're nourishing your body, s good thing, and so why should we feel guilty? I know it's incredibly difficult to think like this when you're struggling but it's the truth and it's important to keep reminding yourself of facts like this to improve your capacity to rationalize with your disorder.
♡And even if you don't suffer from an ED you will probably have still experienced guilt after eating and so it's still good to recognize these things. ♡ So, to conclude - all foods are good foods, necessities for survival, and guilt is an entirely learned concept which, while it's frustrating to think that you have learned such a negative thing and it's not something innate, that you were born with, it also means that it can be 'unlearnt'. I know it's hard but you've got this lovely and I'm here with you every step of the way.
Huge love and hugs,
Tessa

ik its been forever
sorry guys,im just spending time with my boo and putting this blog aside for the moment to focus on him
Fighting depression is hard.
Where do you start?
Are you giving into your illness if you take mental health days?
The answers aren't simple. But what is simple is, fight, just fight.
Get up.
Get out.
Nourish.
You don't need to do make up.
You don't need to walk anywhere.
Get up, do into your garden and feed yourself.
It will be hard I'm not going to Sugar coat it for you. It's shit. It's gross and grueling. You're going to want to give in. You can't!
You need to see the world, not know every nook and cranny of your ceiling and the way some of the paint has the seeps of nicotine coming through. You need to meet new people, learn new things, try new foods, find a new public footpath.
You need to fight and you need to get better.
Get up,
Take meds,
Get out,
Nourish,
Recover,
Live.
